BERLIN. Oct, 29--It was arranged at the be-
ginning CT tho week that the Gear should leave
Copenhagen and travel via Germany to Moscow.
The impera! saloon train lying at Wyrbullen.
Polish station. was ordered to take up the
Gear at Lubbock. The Berlin court circle
pectsd the courtesy of a visit to the Emperor
William On route. Then came news that the
arrangements had been coun fernandez, suc-
ceeded by the startling report that the Gear had
gone to Stockholm, travelling via Maiino. by the
ordinary express. with two attendants German
embassy advices from Copenhagen confirmed tho
hurried passage OF some smportan Russian
dienisary to Stockholm. where the imperial
yacht, Czarina lay ready to receive him. ana
put to sea In the night time. A late inquiry
proved that the Car was still at Fredesnberg,
and that he is likely to stay there until
the middle of November. He has been sharing
the measles with his children in . mild form, it
is reported, but Moscow advtces confirm reports
from Copenhagen that the postponement OF his
return 10 due to the appearance OF symptoms OF
measels. His travelling via Germany. and his
consequent visit to the Emperor, are now ac-
cepted 81 inevitable. The visit IL officially con-
sidered undesirable but care will be taken to
divest it of all political Significance. The
health of tho Gear and the imperial children
forbids their attempting the Stockholm or Libau
routes. and they will consequently pass through
Berlin. M. De Giers will not accompany the
Gar. nor will Prince Bismarck be present at
the interview between the Emperors Although
he has been expecting the interview 20 take
place. Prince Bismarck has maintained an at
titude Of reserve toward tho Russian embassy,
and under his advice the Emperor refrains
from inviting the Gear until he ia formally APP
prised that his journey homewards is about to
commence. The interview will be brief and
ceremonious
Grand Duke Nicholas passed through Berlin
on his way homeward. He was received at the
railway station. Thursday night, by tho Rus
sian charge d'affaires, who accompanied him to
his hotel. whore he remained without being Wis
tied by any one connected with the German
court or the army. His bellicose speech at
Dunkirk. on Oct. s. in which he expressed SYM
pathy with France as against Germany. al
though denied by him. remains undoubtsd
fact. The Grand Duke resumed his journey
yesterday. uunoticed.
An incident on the frontier beyond Tilsir, OF
Russian customs officer shooting Prussian
named Glinke. is strikingly similar. in some
aspects. to the Schn@bele affair. but. unlike
that affair, il does not stir tho public pulse or
official feeling. The inquiry into the
matter. which is in progress. has
already shown that Glinke. being
challeged on crossing the line, fed
to recross IL into Germany and fell dead at the
first shot. The Tilsit Gazette says that Glnks
died on German soil. The Russian officer fol-
lowed his orders to fire persons taking flight
on being challenged. Whatever malice was De-
hind the incident, tho government has not COM
planned to Russia.
TIE antaponism Of the Russians in tho frontier
provinces is demonstrative. but it excites no
similar response from the Germans. Frontier
restaurants frequented by Russian officials and
drinkshops patronized by soldiers display pla-
cards bearing the words, Here no Prussians
are served with meat or drink" Stores in Mos
COW and Russian shops in Warsaw and elsewhere
announce, mo German goods sold here" ibis
known to be duo to official incitings Taken
with other things, it is an indication that tho
coming conflict between the empires will not. in
the option of official Russia. be long postponed.
The scheme for the formation OF an independ-
emit kingdom of Poland, foreshadowed in the
Kreuz Zeitung, recently. excited a lively discus
sion among the Independent Polish press OF
Galica. Tho Gazetta Narvoda aud the Ma
tional Gazette of mberg make adverse COM
ments, and declare that the Poles could not
accept a restored Poland wanting the Duchy OF
Posen. The scheme generally is considered
chimericai, but several Polish organs in Galcia
having relations with the Austrian government
treat the subject euarGedly as within the
bounds of political chances.
